Biographical history
Hella Anna Maria Scholz was born in Berlin on 29 December 1928 as the younger of the two daughters of Bruno Scholz, a merchant in building materials, and Klara née Kaiser. She was educated in Berlin. In 1942, she met Günther Junge, a pilot with the German Luftwaffe. They remained a couple until Günther’s death in an air battle on 27 January 1944.
After the war, Hella worked as a laboratory assistant for a British military medical unit in Hannover. Here, she met her future husband, an Englishman named William Fuller. They married on 1 January 1951 at the Ploughley & Bullingdon Register Office in Oxford, and in February of that year Hella became a British citizen. She and her husband lived in Oxfordshire and had no children. Hella later moved to Penarth in Glamorgan, Wales, where she died on 31 January 2003.

Scope and content
From Bill in Wheatley. Bill apologises for not having written for so long but things have been hard in the lab and until he left to see his father in London he did not feel able to write. He was left with just two assistants to run the laboratory which is bigger than the Hannover one. An extra man was sent by the ADP but after four days the Company Officer moved him to the wards. He was pleased with Hella’s last two letters and glad she got the postal orders. He stresses that if she needs any more, she should let him know. He refers to the fact that they are getting nearer the time that they will be together. Unfortunately, he has lost the place he had found for her to live but reassures her he has some other places in mind. He asks her to give him a definite date of her arrival. He is sorry to hear she has to work so hard but writes she will not have to work in a laboratory again if she does not want to. With envelope.
